Contestant: Rod Honeyman

Show #2 was taped in San Francisco when Rod was in the 9th grade.  

Games on show: Moon Patrol, Super Zaxxon, Ms Pac Man, Donkey Kong and Pooyan. Grand Prize game: Jungle Hunt.

Rod won 'big' - taking home the Grand Prize and a Casio VL Tone.

 Reason he wanted to be on STARCADE!: "I think it will be a neat experience." And, as it turned out, a winning one as well.

According to Rod, his favorite hobby was, "...drumming. I love them drums. Next comes motorcycle riding, others include drawing, sports and last but certainly not least, computer programming."

 When Rod checked in, he had this to say about his STARCADE! experience..."I was on one of your shows many moons ago. It was an experience that I will never forget, one of the highlights of my youngster-hood. The whole process was quite thrilling to me, the interviews, the travel, the expectations. Thank you so much."

And what's Rod doing today ... "I ended up in the computer field as some of my fellow gamers may have. I work for a television station in ... California as their Computer Network Administrator. And also do professional vocal records on the side."
